Biography
Mary Marie Dixon, a visual artist and poet, is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame with an MA in theology and an MFA in English creative writing. She has published creative works in periodicals and a collection of poetry, Eucharist, Enter the Sacred Way, Franciscan University Press, 2008. Her focus on women's spirituality and the mystics combined with the Great Plains and the spiritual power of nature makes for an eclectic mix. She has exhibited her visual work and accompanying poetry in galleries and explores the visual and poetic intersection in her creative life.
My goals as an educator are to provide a Christ-centered experience for students, both in interactions and relationships and in scholastic endeavors. This is why it is important to teach at Regent University since I know that I am able to minister to students in a variety of ways and explore my discipline with a Christian viewpoint.
My life includes many hobbies like reading, writing, and art work. I also love to travel with my husband of 27 years.
